I started to post some of the Blackboard 9.1 SQL Server queries that I've found handy (or collected) from others.
Caveat: I'm not a SQL DBA so my code is prob. inefficient, ugly, etc.

Experiments with Sakai Tests and Quizzes IMS QTI export and Respondus

Respondus (www.respondus.com) is a Windows-based program for creating and managing exams. It is pretty much the Rosetta-stone of quiz publishing to various Course Management Systems (ANGEL, Blackboard, Desire2Learn, etc). It can import IMS QTI 1.1+ and convert it (change "CMS Personality"). We have a campus-wide license for Respondus.

Here is my experiment to move a Sakai 2.7 Test and Quizzes exam, containing a multiple choice (single choice) question, into Respondus 4.0.3, and then publish it to Blackboard 9.1.

Note: there is no "export" action for "Published Assessments" (whether active or inactive). You can only export "Pending Assessments". A Published Assessment should only really be a copy of the Pending Assessment, right?
